Avo and Davidoff Celebrate 84 Years with LE10 Cigar
Every year, Avo Uvezian releases a new cigar for his birthday ... and it's always incredible. My first encounter with Avo's birthday cigar was the Avo 80, celebrating eight decades of the master himself. Last year, it was the Campanero, which may have been better than the Avo 80, though I haven't had the latter in a few years, so a comparison is impossible. This year, Avo turns 84, and he's celebrating his birthday with the Avo Limited Edition LE10. The LE10 is made from an Ecuadoran sun-grown wrapper and has a Mexican Sumatra binder. The filler consists of Dominican ligero tobacco. The cigar has a ring gauge of 55 and is 5 ½ inches long; Davidoff is calling it a "super robusto" and says that it is full-bodied.
The LE10 tour will begin in Salem, New Hampshire at Two Guys Smoke Shop on March 17, 2010 and comes to Manhattan the next day, with a visit to Davidoff of Geneva. In total, Avo will make 13 stops across the United States. View all locations below.
